Hi Gerald,

These days you can do decode everything on the computer. No TNC is needed.

Rough list of what's being transmitted out there and what programs you
can use:

* 1k2 AX.25 AFSK and 9k6 AX.25 FSK. This is like your regular packet
radio. You can use UZ7HO soundmodem, direwolf, or many other software
TNC programs.

* Faster AX.25 FSK. 19k2 is common. Some of the 9k6 AX.25 software also
supports this faster speeds.

* 1k2 AX.25 BPSK. This is transmitted by the QB50p satellites and
perhaps some others. You can use UZ7HO and warbler.

* 9k6 AX.25 BPSK. Transmitted by 3CAT-2. There is an alpha version of
UZ7HO and a GNUradio decoder in gr-satellites.

Non-AX.25 satellites:

* FUNcube and FUNcube-2, which transmit 1k2 BPSK with FEC. You have the
FUNcube dashboard software.

* LilacSat-2. Transmits: 9k6 BPSK with FEC, 4k8 GMSK with FEC and
subaudio telemetry with FEC. There is a GNUradio decoder from Harbin
Institute and a modified decoder by me:

* GOMX-3. Transmits 19k2 FSK with FEC. There is a GNUradio decoder in
gr-satellites.

* AAUSAT-4. Transmits 9k6 or 2k4 FSK with FEC. There is a GNUradio
decoder in gr-satellites.

* Some others I'm not so familiar with. We're trying to add support for
more satellites in gr-satellites. Specially for those which are not
supported by other software. I'm open for suggestions on which
satellites you want to see decoded (for GOMX-1 and ÑuSat we've tried but
we lack the details about the telemetry format).

Then, Mike DK3WN has a very complete set of programs to analyse the
telemetry:

Also, take a look at his blog to see what one can achieve:

About submitting telemetry online: AO-85 (and future foxes) telemetry
goes to the amsat.org web. FUNcube telemetry goes to the FUNcube data
warehouse. The rest of the satellites go to PE0SAT telemetry server:
